No problem... Don't hesitate to bump.

The problem with css (I may be wrong) is that CSS overrides
html-based settings. At least with tables. So that if I disable
borders in CSS I can't turn in on by border=1 in a page when I want
to. Or vice versa.  Probably the same with form input fields.

And with forms there are likely going to be different size boxes you
need on different pages. Depending on the input. So it should be
flexible.  Of course there's no reason you can't change the CSS if you
want...

We could put in code.snippet, like textboxcols: 50 and textboxrows: 10
and then put cols=$$textboxcols and rows=$textboxrows in the action
forms. Nice idea, as a skin designer could then hijack those settings
to something different in code.snippets.skin.  We could do that
perhaps.

But what do you mean you are forced to edit the pages every time you
update? Are you editing the barn/system pages?  If you just edit them
in the wiki, your local copies will always be used. So upgrades
shouldn't affect anything.  Not clear what you mean?

Cheers,
Dan
